Fire Safety Workplace Facts

Fire safety should be observed by all employees. Employers should have information posted in common areas to keep employees informed of the escape routes and where to find access to fire extinguishers.

Escape Routes

All escape routes should be well marked. Every building should have at least two escapes in separate areas.

Fire Doors

All fire doors must be unlocked and kept clear while employees are working in a building.

Exit Signs

All exit signs must be clearly visible at all times.

Fire Extinguishers

Extinguishers must be maintained and kept in operating condition. Instructions should be given to all employees on the correct operating procedures.

Sprinkler Systems

Sprinklers should be up to local code and maintained as necessary.
